Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

That depends on how far from your machine your hot water heater is, and if your machine compensates for water temp with a heating element or discharging cold water until the temp increases but as a general rule: yeeuh
It also only matters when your dishwasher is hooked up to warm water in the first place. (In Germany) I’ve only ever seen them connected to cold water.
Even if yours has a heating element it’s a good idea to preheat the water. This is covered in the TC video
I wonder if this could be done by the dishwasher with a temp sensor and program at the start of each load (run until hot, drain, start wash). i assume it would hurt their water efficiency claims to dump a bunch of water down the drain at the start of the wash though
It doesn’t have to, just put a heatig element in it. Most dishwasher I’ve seen only hook up to cold water, so running the tap is not going to do anything.
It’s a US thing, our dishwashers get hooked up to hot water, since on a 120V 15A circuit you can’t heat all the water that fast.
